Optical networks provide a common transport foundation that supports multiservice delivery.
Maintain existing services and add valuable next-generation services
Service providers worldwide are looking to lower TCO while deploying high-margin, next-generation services. Lucent optical networks can help make both goals a reality. More than 100 carriers today rely on Lucent's experience and expertise, along with our complete portfolio of Optical Networking Solutions to protect existing investments and increase profitability. These solutions are designed to: - Enable new revenue-generating data services while supporting existing SONET/SDH services. Improve return on investment (ROI) on a current optical infrastructure by, for instance, ramping up Ethernet through new standards-based, multiservice capabilities.
- Reduce operation and capital expenditures through automation and network consolidation.
- Help service providers reduce or eliminate provisioning delays and shorten the lag-time between order placement, delivery, and billing by deploying a modular, rapidly reconfigurable architecture.
Lucent delivers a complete portfolio of optical solutions:
Optical Ethernet: Demand for familiar, cost-effective Ethernet services continues to grow. This solution helps service providers deploy the services most wanted by their customers, including Ethernet private lines, LAN interconnect, and broadband Internet access.
Optical IP Services: The Lucent and Juniper Optical IP Services Solution expands the market for high-value Ethernet/IP services by enhancing existing SONET/SDH metro networks with Ethernet access capabilities.
Managed Wavelength: Managed services let customers extend capabilities without investing in MAN/WAN equipment and in-house expertise. The solution offers service providers incremental service revenue by enabling network access aggregation, MAN/WAN campus interconnects, and managed storage.
Optical Support for Wireless Networks: Wireless carriers can reduce leasing costs and lengthy provisioning delays. Lucent's optical/wireless solution provides cost-effective wireless aggregation and traffic backhauling at mobile switching centers and cell sites.
Long Haul "Core": Lucent's intelligent optical solutions can simplify core network deployment and accelerate upgrades, while helping cut operating and capital costs to boost margins.
Storage Networking: Lucent's end-to-end solutions can help service providers deliver secure, reliable storage hosting and managed storage. Reducing the impact of network outages isn't just good business, in some segments it's the law.
Optical Data Convergence: Carriers can enjoy cost savings by deploying a common services framework that supports Ethernet, SONET/SDH and IP across the metro and wide areas ? as well as ATM, Frame and MPLS, using products from Juniper Networks. This solution makes it possible to access Ethernet and IP services over both emerging MPLS networks and existing SONET/SDH/WDM infrastructures. Seeing the Big Picture Managing large, multi-vendor networks can be a daunting task. Lucent's Navis® Optical Management software solutions can help ease that burden using comprehensive, integrated management of SDH, SONET, and C/DWDM optical Networks.
